The discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012 signalled the need for physicists to begin exploring physics beyond parameters they were used to. Higgs spent 50 years of his life searching for a single particle – Higgs Boson – that gives almost all other particles their mass
On April 8, 2024, Peter Higgs passed away. Pioneering the discovery of the Higgs boson, the mark the theoretical physicist has left on physics is immense.
Assessing the impact of parton masses in the fragmentation of high-energy particles has been a longstanding goal of experimental and theoretical communities in QCD. One of the most prominent characteristics of a massive splitting is the suppression of collinear branchings, the dead-cone effect.
